Common Reader problem

I'm not a techy but I am wanting to put the wordpress rss feed
[http etc www dot integracommunications dot co dot uk/Newsroom/category/client-news/feed]
into my main website using [commonlib dot php] but it registers empty.
Interestingly when I run the [common-choice dot php] demo with this feed on my isp server it also shows empty but when I run it on the Scriptol server demo it does work.
I guess there is a setting or command on the scriptol server perhaps in htaccess(?) which isn't in mine.
The script on my main website works with a xml extension file feed (eg [http etc www dot xul dot fr/rss dot xml]) but I can't see how to get this format from wordpress for my feed.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
some checking may be necessary...
Try this code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

The version displayed must be 5.0 at least and preferably 5.2.
And the extensions must be .php.

So far so good
PHP Version 5.2.11
all the files involved have php extensions except of course the feed
This is the code for the feed in my index.php file

If you put the feed address in http etc www dot scriptol dot com/rss/common-choice dot php it works
If you put it in http etc www dot integracommunications dot co dot uk/common-choice dot php it doesn't
If you want to see the whole of the php info I have set this up at http etc www dot integracommunications dot co dot uk/phpinfo dot php
It would be nice to be able to put urls in here now!
Look forward to your thoughts

I've got to the bottom of the problem - but not the solution!
My service provider has a firewall which stops one part of a site receiving feeds from another to stop loopback issues.
This is why the module isn't working.
I'll have to think how to set things up differently
Thanks
